User:SOTO/Forum Archive/The Panopticon/@comment-6032121-20190714110218 Now, The Planet of Storms (stage play) doesn't currently exist on this Wiki, and there is not even a reference to it at Stage play.
Planet of Storms, for the unaware, is a 1996 stage play written by and starring Nick Scovell as his own incarnation of the Doctor — it occurs to me that a The Doctor (The Planet of Storms) page, obviously in the Category:Non-DWU Doctors category, this being a stage play, would also be warranted if the play is covered.
Online information about it is scarce, but according to this source, the "necessary rights" were acquired before its performance. This reference is good enough for Wikipedia, at any rate, as they list Nick Scovell alongside Trevor Martin and David Banks in their list of actors who have officially played the Doctor on Stage on the basis of Planet of Storms with this link as their reference.
But, of course, the case for the prosecution goes "this is one sentence in a 9-year-old website, and given that he's also played his Doctor in all sorts of unlicensed stuff, we should be wary of Nick Scovell material before we let it in".
So I suppose the question is — do we trust this reference enough?
